THE Paris News in a clever inu-

The Paris News in a clever inu-
endo gives expression to common
sentiment among the most extreme
prohibitionists
The legislature that elects Senator Cokc's
successor is TO be elected next year. Very
likely instead Of taking the stump against
prohibition he will go abroad for his
health, and to enjoy his personal liberty.
Senator Coke has been an able
and faithful representative of Tex
as in the national senate; and I'M
til his canvass against prohibition
was without opposition and had a
clear field to reelection. The
HERALD would be consistent in its
former position, that a man could
be a good democrat and also a
prohibitionist, and now insists
that Senator Coke is as good a
democrat to-day and possesses all
the qualifications for the senate he
did before his speech against pro-
hibition. Some better argument
than this will have to be presented
to induce the people of Texas to
leave Coke at home. If the pro-
hibitionists would win their fight,
they had better stick to their first
proposition, that it is a non-polit-
ical question. The measure will
need the support Of men Of all
parties, and certainly not the OPP
position of influential democrats.

Ex Senator Bruce is making his headquar-
tcrs in New York at one of tho up town

touching on tho coorcd people. Mr.. Bruce
says that his treatment at the hotels in New

VISITORS AT THE CAPITAL.

New York Society People in Washing
trn-NuiSanccs From Abroad.
The attitude of New York society people
toward Washington is peculiar, and they
show their bumptious prorinciaism i'll n
dozen ways. One New York woman who has
spent couple of seasons here remarked kindly
that she could SEQ Il great Improvement in
the art of dinner giving since she came to
Washington. "Of course New York dinners
have always been perfect, but here it is quito
new thing, you know, this dinner giving"
was her bland remark. When repeated to Il
few Washington hostesses who have been
giving dinners for II score of years there was
an immediate tenptcst i'll n ten pot. New
Workers have the coolest way of making just
such speeches about Washington, and nssum-
ing an air Of con,lcsccnsion us if it wcrc very
kind i'll them to be amused hy tho capitals
tloings; yet at the same time they make all
these prrtensions they come hero and 20 to the
greatest lengths to get into the full swim Of
society.
New Workers have always led in the army
of ;mglomaniacs that infcst the city, but even
the anglomanacs havc had trial this winter
by having two mlisanccs from England an
hoy people beyond measure. The pair were
taken up rapturcuSy by their first discover
ers and We're introduced at several exclusive
houses, from which they could not be dis
lodged, when it was finally discovered that
they were rlllc and impudcnt and pushing
people, upon whom snubs had no effect As
admirers of art they Went around different
I'arlors, examining and crticisins pictures
with appalling GOODNESS. Having marched
into one house where they knew there was II
portrait by Bonnat, and where they had no
Introduction whatever, they demanded TO be
shown the Bonnat, much with the air of n
stage robber demanding tho treasure box.
At Gen. Sheridan's house they asked To SEQ
his portrait, and coolly said it was "horrid." "
I'VE think it II very good portrait" !" said Mrs.
Sheridan, quietly, who found the English
couple the most extraordinary of the crowds
who had called on tllut particular rcoention
day.
"Nlay ask what relation you are to the
Erneral:' inquired the English woman, with
cool impertincncc.
